178632 - Internal encoding conversion (MacRoman) shows in menus

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: HTML Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Niklas Dougherty]

Chimera 0.6. Load http://www.student.lu.se/~kin02ndo/dvd/wo_de_fuqin_muqin/ and
choose a menu item from the topmost floating popup menu (which by the way is
unstyled, but this is on purpose, right?). Choose an item that contains chars
other than ASCII, for instance Wo hu cang long (with Chinese signs) or Metallica
(with em-dash) at the bottom of the menu. Keep your eyes on the menu as you
release it, and you will see MacRoman garbage for a split second, before the
real content returns just before the destination page loads.

This shouldn't be visible, and I doubt there should be this kind of conversion
at all. The page is in UTF-16, Mozilla uses UTF-16 internally, Mac OS X uses
UTF-16 internally, so why is this happening?

I can't see the garbage using Chimera/2002110415 on 10.1.5. Can you capture a
screenshot?

Attachment: Screen dump

There are no apples in Unicode. It is supposed to be an em-dash.

[Greg K.]

Okay, I see it now. I wasn't doing it right. Confirmed using Chimera/2002110415
on 10.1.5.
